Supporting people who face Learning disability, mental health and other problems

 It's understandable that supporting people who face disabilities, mental health, and other problems, through no fault of our own can be tricky to balance between support and independence.  This can vary from person to person, the types of disability, mental health, and other problems they have but also thinking, how the people they cope, how they struggle, what they want, need and feel. Listening to the person and considering their feelings, but supporting and empowering them in any they need and want it. 

Safety is good and everyone should be safe in everything but there's being too overprotected which every person who faces disability, mental health other problems know themselves and know others around them don't do it to take away their lives but to be concerned for their safety. However' There needs to be a point where people need to feel confident and independent, which is where empowerment and encouragement come in. However' no one needs help in every area of their life but even most people who don't face disabilities, mental health, and others need help with something? Wouldn't it be amazing if we all could do everything for ourselves and not having to ask and depend on others, surely we all have an understanding there no matter what? 

  These days such things as support aids, accessibility, etc have grown but due to money and different areas of life, etc that sort of support isn't possible to most people but if or and when it is, it is likely to help people the best way as possible without having to ask others for help. https://www.mencap.org.uk/accessible-information-standard
